Green Folk Going For Zero
The Illawarra Folk Festival is committed to minimising waste and its impact on the environment including the recycling of plastics, glass and cupboard. Our aim is to send no waste to landfill.
This is a big task and requires attendees, campers, volunteers, stallholders and performers to work together.
There are 3 waste streams at the Festival. Each waste stream has an individual collection bin and is identified by the colour of the bin lid and signage.
RECYCLING BINPlastic Bottles, containers Wash and squash Codes 1-6 inclusive with Recycling Logo All mllk / juice / drink cartomns with Recycling Logo Glass, Aluminium, Steel |
COMPOSTABLE BINAll food scraps (including meat, onion) Paper, bamboo, wood skewers Cornstarch and wooden utensils Paper & paper serviettes Paper Cups |
GENERAL WASTE BINPlastic and other similiar materials with No Recycling Logo Nappies All other non-recylables |
We are always looking for Green Folk - recycling volunteers - so if you are interested in helping then please register as a volunteer.
